Brando, Depp, the missing millions and Divine Rapture, the lost movie

26 November 2009 2:15 PM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »

The first sign things were going wrong on the set of Divine Rapture was when Marlon Brando shaved his head. But that was the least of the film's troubles

If all the roads in Ireland were to converge at a final destination, you would probably find yourself in Ballycotton, Co Cork. A tiny village on a rocky headland, it is as removed and cosy as its name suggests. Its harbour is stocked with a colourful fishing fleet and traditional music seeps from the pubs on Main Street. Despite an annual running marathon that passes through the town, it is slow-paced, sleepy, and cocooned from the outside world. But although 200-ft cliffs keep the Atlantic at bay and an offshore lighthouse looks out for danger, nothing could protect Ballycotton from nature's cruellest force: Hollywood.

Back in 1995, Johnny Depp, Debra Winger, and Marlon Brando rolled into town to make a film called Divine Rapture. »

You most likely know Buffy Sainte-Marie from her many Vanguard folk albums or instantly identifiable hits. She's penned An Officer And A Gentleman's Academy Award-winning theme song "Up Where We Belong" (released by Joe Cocker & Jennifer Warnes), plus the classics "Piney Wood Hills" (recorded by country legend Bobby Bare), "Cod'ine" (covered by Donovan, The Charlatans, and Quicksilver Messenger Service), and "Until It's Time For You To Go" that was immortalized by Elvis Presley then later, Neil Diamond.
